Staring out at the beautiful blue ocean, her eyes of the same colour sparkled in the summer sun. In one swift, graceful movement she lowered her thin body on to the soft sand and exhaled deeply. Drawing her knees to her chest, she began to scoop up large handfuls of sand, letting them slowly filter through her ring-clad fingers. At least thirty seagulls littered the beach to her left, and to her right the rocky coast extended as far as the eye could see. She loved nature, especially the sea.
